Description
Steadfast, constant and true – these are the traits that defined the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. A model of duty and dignity, Queen Elizabeth II never wavered in her resolve. She pledged to dedicate her life to service, to country and the Commonwealth, at the age of 21 and again on her coronation day in 1953. And Queen Elizabeth II solemnly kept that promise throughout her extraordinary reign.
This 1 oz. fine silver coin from the Royal Canadian Mint is a heartfelt tribute to Queen Elizabeth II. Through a mix of elements that represent tradition and history, the coin honours Queen Elizabeth II’s 70 years of service to Canada and the Commonwealth.
Entwined emblems. On the coin’s reverse, Canada’s maple leaf is combined with the Tudor rose, the Scottish thistle, the Irish shamrock and the Welsh daffodil to form a floral representation of Canada and the United Kingdom, and all the historic ties and traditions that bind us.
